Tutorial: Election Results

Introduction

Election returns from past elections can usually be found at the websites of a Secretary of State for state races, and at the websites of a county voter registrar or a county election department for local races.

On election night, these same agencies post election returns on special sections of their websites as the returns come in.

Use a search engine like Google to find the website for a Secretary of State’s Office in a particular state or for a voter registrar’s office or elections department in a particular county.

The National Association of Secretaries of State also has a website that lists the home pages of secretary of state offices around the country:
